Guided-tour through the European Astronaut Centre

Get a little closer to the stars: Take your guests on an exclusive tour of the European Astronaut Center (EAC). As the heart of European human spaceflight, this place offers an atmosphere unlike any other in the world. The EAC is located on the expansive grounds of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne-Wahnheide and serves as the central training facility for the European Astronaut Corps.

A Unique Supporting Program: Where Astronauts Train for the ISS

Give your event a galactic boost! At the EAC, astronauts undergo intensive training for their space missions—primarily for assignments on the International Space Station (ISS).

Your tour, available in either German or English, offers deep insights into space research:

• Presentation: An exciting briefing in the on-site theater introduces you to the EAC’s mission.
• Behind-the-scenes tour: You’ll visit the impressive training hall—the operational center where full-scale replicas of the space station modules are used for training purposes.
• Interactive Q&A: Afterward, your guests will have the opportunity to ask burning questions about training, weightlessness, and daily life in space during the Q&A session.

Important Planning Information for Organizers

This program is an excellent highlight for conferences, meetings, or exclusive client incentives. Thanks to its location in Cologne-Wahnheide, the center is easily accessible via the A59 highway and the nearby Cologne/Bonn Airport.
